RAZOR AND RAZOR BLADE.

Application nlel January 12, 1926, Serial No. 80,795, and in Great Britain March 13, 1925.

, manufacturing advantages by reducing the number of components in the make up of the razor and facilitates the assemblage of the components of the razor, and further the razor parts when assembled present a compact appearance.

carrying two pins 15 and 16.

The accompanying drawings show by way of example one way of carrying the present invention into practice.

Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a safety razor embodying the present invention.

Fig. 2 a plan view with the clamping component removed.

Fig. 3 an under plan view of the clamping component. Fig. 4 a plan view, and Fig. 5 a reversed view thereof of a. blade constructed according to one example of the present invention, and Fig. 6 a detail view of the turn-button having two pins mounted thereon.

Referring to the drawings the blade 1 is adapted to be positioned by a system of pins 2 or positioning means of that character which allow the blade to be reversed.

Mounted von the guard or holder 5 is a turn-button 14 or an equivalent member These pins 15 and 16 engage holes 17 and 18 in the blade l. When the turn-button 14 is moved from the full outline position of the pins l5 and 16 to the dotted outline position of the pins l5 and 16 (Fig. 2) the blade must be turned over to register the holes 17 and 18 therein with the alternative positions of the pins 15 and 16 on the turn-button 14 or the equivalent member. Movement of the turn-button may be effected by hand or in any convenient manner. To facilitate a movement by hand the edge of the turn-button may be knurled.

As shown the turn-button 14 is mounted beneath the guard or holder 5 and the pms 15 and 16 project therethrough. In this case slots 1) .and 20 are provided in the guard 5 for accommodating the movement of the pins 15 and 16. Or the turn-button or the equivalent ymay be carried by the blade clamping v'component 21.

The blade clamping component or the guard or holder, depending on which part the turn-buttonjor lthe equivalent is carried -may have depressions 22 to accommodate the 4 razor,

tops of the pins 15 and 16 when these project beyond the blade.

The handle 23 is attached by a screw union 24 to a spindle 25 of the clamping component 2l.

To give an indication of the side to be used the alternate names of the days of the week may be suitably marked on the opposite sides of the blade itself as shown at 26.

Only one pin on the turn-button or the' equivalent and one hole in the blade may be provided.

lVhat I qclaim is 1. A safety razor comprising in combination, bladey carrying means, a detachable blade having registering means, a rotating member mounted on a component part of the said rotatable member carrying means movable in the plane of the razor blade and co-operating with said registering means, for the purpose described.

2. A safety razor comprising in combination, a guard component, a blade-clamping component, a handle, a detachable blade having registering means, and a rotating member mounted on a razor part, said rotating member carrying means movable in the plane of the razor blade and co-operatingwith said registering means, for the purpose dedetachable blade having registering holes,

a turn-button mounted beneath said guard component, said turn-button carrying pins rotatable therewith and co-operating with said blade registering holes, and said guard component having slots for limiting the rotary movement of said pins carried by the turn-button, for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.

WILLIAM JAMES MYATT.
